A recent analysis by finance expert RIFT suggests that a crackdown on improper Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) claims, proposed by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, could lead to a substantial increase in tax revenue for the British economy.
Jobseeker’s Allowance, a benefit for individuals actively seeking work and working less than 16 hours per week, is undergoing a transition to Universal Credit. Currently, those aged 24 and under can claim up to £71.70 per week, while those 25 and over can claim up to £90.50.
